I created the 'Jenifa' character in UNILAG – Funke Akindele

Nollywood superstar, Funke Akindele-Bello opens up to CNN about scripts, cameras, and awards and how she created her popular ‘Jenifa’ character.

She talked about how she did not get roles for years after playing what many regard as her career-launching role, Bisi, in I Need To Know.

According to Funke Akindele, she decided to use humour to pass across social change messages to young girls thereby giving rise to Jenifa.
